Christmas List, 2005

Christmas List, 2005

I don’t wish for perfection,
That’s one thing I’ll never achieve.
I don’t wish for wealth and money,
That’s not good enough for me.
I don’t wish for material things,
They won’t help me through.
I certainly don’t wish for love,
It’s never seen me through.

But this year at Christmas,
I wish for a few things –

No more wars,
No more fighting,
We need peace,
We need love.
I wish the world would stop the hate.
I wish for joy,
For happiness and smiles on the faces of every girl and boy.
I wish for less anger and more praise,
I wish every blue-collar worker
Would get a well-deserved raise.
I wish everyone would be loved for who they are,
And that at this time next year we’re all still alive.
This is my Christmas list, 2005.

I wish for nothing for myself,
I know that I can get by fine.
But I wish that everyone could have a life like mine.

No more AIDs,
Better healthcare,
More food for the starving and the homeless.
Less disease,
Less terrorism,
More peace talks and a lot less stress.
Less hate crimes,
Less drug dealers,
Less pregnant teens and deadbeat dads.
More family time,
More time to talk,
Less bragging about whose been had.
And I hope next year we’re all still alive,
This is my Christmas list, 2005
